Looks awesome. I see no evidence of the filler work. Great job!
yeah, i haven't looked closely for that, but if it doesn't pop out then nobody will ever see it. except my father, cuz he notices every tiny boo-boo anybody ever made.

I love the idea and the execution. For some reason, and it may just be me, the helmet looks like an A and I’m not reading Jeep. Looks killer still. You did a great job on it!

i can see that, i've seen other Gladiator decals with a gladiator helmet in place of the A.

Unfortunately it is what it is. if it ends up looking weird to me a few years down the road maybe i'll just change it to the all old school letters JEEP.

@steffen707 its still pretty bad a$$ and original. That’s what makes these things awesome. We can each build and tinker to our own liking. Did you do a hood wrap or decal along with the tailgate?

Nope. Since i'm only leasing this and truly plan to get a Rubicon in 3-6 years I needed to limit some of the unnessesary spending, lol.
I'll take the grille insert, tonneau, floor mats, center armrest cover, 67designs phone holder, rear seat protector, LE wheels/tires and swap hardtops with the new one.

Then i'll just be leaving behind these decals, tailgate wrap, bug deflector, door sill protector and the tint. probably $500 of stuff, but then I get to enjoy it more to my unique taste as you mentioned. To me an extra $30-60 per year to REALLY REALLY like my truck is worth it.

And as you know, plans can change, so I might be stuck with this Bad A$$ Jeep Gladys forever, who knows.

Couldn’t agree more! I need to get my hood and tail gate wrapped so I can start doing my other exterior graphic mods. Just been busy. Still patiently waiting my @BuiltRight panels and Mopar trail system so I can get that installed. No patience for this guy!

you're not waiting for the @BuiltRight Trail Rail too? he's making a better one for less money.....that's the rumor anyway.
I can always return the MOPAR one but I had to order something in order to use the panels he made. Been waiting like the rest for some more updates on it. I hope it happens soon.

Yes basically a 3D sticker but I will be trying to recreate a version of this:

jeep-j6-concept-1-3.webp


Would be awesome if it were embossed.
And a small version of this on the bottom RH corner:
Fonts2.webp

THIS!!! I've searched the ends of the earth for both of these and came up empty handed. Surprised nobody makes them yet.
